Exterior Patio Shades in Sonoma, Napa & Marin
Create comfortable, protected outdoor spaces—while preserving the views that make Sonoma, Napa, and Marin living special.
Shade When You Need It
Exterior patio shades reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure so you can enjoy your patio, deck, or outdoor room more often and more comfortably. By blocking sunlight before it reaches the glass, exterior shades help keep outdoor living spaces cooler while protecting furniture and finishes from sun damage.
They also help protect interior spaces from solar heat gain, making them a smart solution for both outdoor living and energy efficiency.
Common uses:
→ Shading outdoor dining and lounge areas
→ Reducing glare on large patio doors and windows
→ Blocking UV rays to protect furniture and flooring
→ Creating a bug-resistant, wind-tolerant enclosure
Exterior shades can create cooler outdoor environments and block UV exposure while still allowing airflow and views.
